Book Description
"In Abandoned, Julie Miller offers a fascinating, frustrating, and often heartbreaking history of a once devastating problem that wracked New York City. Filled with anecdotes and personal stories, Miller traces the shift in attitudes toward foundlings from ignorance, apathy, and sometimes pity to recognition of their plight as a sign of urban moral decline in need of systematic intervention."--Back cover.

Book Description
In 1904, New York nuns brought forty Irish orphans to a remote Arizona mining camp, to be placed with Catholic families. The Catholic families were Mexican, as was the majority of the population. Soon the town's Anglos, furious at this "interracial" transgression, formed a vigilante squad that kidnapped the children and nearly lynched the nuns and the local priest. The Catholic Church sued to get its wards back, but all the courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, ruled in favor of the vigilantes. The Great Arizona Orphan Abduction tells this disturbing and dramatic tale to illuminate the creation of racial boundaries along the Mexican border. Clifton/Morenci, Arizona, was a "wild West" boomtown, where the mines and smelters pulled in thousands of Mexican immigrant workers. Racial walls hardened as the mines became big business and whiteness became a marker of superiority. These already volatile race and class relations produced passions that erupted in the "orphan incident." To the Anglos of Clifton/Morenci, placing a white child with a Mexican family was tantamount to child abuse, and they saw their kidnapping as a rescue. Women initiated both sides of this confrontation. Mexican women agreed to take in these orphans, both serving their church and asserting a maternal prerogative; Anglo women believed they had to "save" the orphans, and they organized a vigilante squad to do it. In retelling this nearly forgotten piece of American history, Linda Gordon brilliantly recreates and dissects the tangled intersection of family and racial values, in a gripping story that resonates with today's conflicts over the "best interests of the child."

Book Description
"The story of The Foundling begins in the bustling New York City of the mid-nineteenth century where a half million people, mostly immigrant and poor, struggled to turn their dreams of a better life into reality. Some thirty thousand children roamed the streets of the city and accounted for most of the felony crimes. Thousands more never lived long enough to experience such a dreadful existence-they died of neglect, disease, malnourishment, or abandonment. Sister Mary Irene Fitzgibbon, Sister Teresa Vincent McCrystal, and two other Sisters of Charity responded to this urgent need. With a gift of five dollars toward their work, they opened one of the first foundling asylums in the United States on October 11, 1869. That very evening, a desperate mother left her baby on the steps of The Foundling's brownstone in Greenwich Village. From those humble beginnings, The Foundling has grown to become one of the largest organizations of its kind in the country, providing services far beyond adoption and foster care. This book was first published in 2001 and much of the content reflects the organization's work up until that date. This new volume was created in 2019, in celebration of The Foundling's 150th anniversary, and adds to the earlier publication a new chapter reflecting the expansive range of services it now provides to meet emerging twenty-first-century needs. Today, The Foundling's work in evidence-based practices, juvenile justice, education, behavioral health, and programs for individuals with developmental disabilities defines the organization as a global leader on the most pressing and timely issues faced by members of the community. The Foundling now includes over 2,700 men and women working in more than fifty programs serving thirty thousand children and families in the five boroughs of New York City, surrounding suburbs, and Puerto Rico. They are continually breaking new ground-challenging, inspiring, and leading in their field, just as they have for the past 150 years"--

Book Description
In 1739, the London Foundling Hospital opened its doors to take in the abandoned children of the city. It was the culmination of seventeen years of campaigning by Captain Thomas Coram, driven by his horror at seeing children die in the streets. He was supported in his endeavours by a royal charter and by William Hogarth and George Frideric Handel. The Hospital would continue as both home and school for over 215 years, raising thousands of children until they could be apprenticed out. London's Forgotten Children is a fascinating history of the first children's charity, charting the rise of this incredible institution and examining the attitude towards illegitimate children over the years. The story comes alive with the voices of children who grew up in the Hospital, and the concluding, fully updated, account of today's children's charity Coram is an ongoing testament to the vision of its founder.

Book Description
"From 1850 to 1930 America witnessed a unique emigration and resettlement of at least 200,000 children and several thousand adults, primarily from the East Coast to the West. This 'placing out,' an attempt to find homes for the urban poor, was best known by the 'orphan trains' that carried the children. Holt carefully analyzes the system, initially instituted by the New York Children's Aid Society in 1853, tracking its imitators as well as the reasons for its creation and demise. She captures the children's perspective with the judicious use of oral histories, institutional records, and newspaper accounts. This well-written volume sheds new light on the multifaceted experience of children's immigration, changing concepts of welfare, and Western expansion. It is good, scholarly social history."—Library Journal
